Easy fix....Yorkies are greedy and respond to reward in the form of food. When you call him, leave the command short, i.e. Come Jesse. I trained mine by allowing him to sniff my hand that had a piece of beef in it (training treats work well too), stepped back, and then called him to come. Each time he got it right, I stated "good boy" and gave him the treat. Just a few trials and this will be reinforced. You can then leave out the treat and they will response positively to the praise alone. Remember, good behavior must be rewarded for it to stick! |
